Default Pic of my sub install

Well I just thought I would throw up a picture of my subwoofer installation. For the Amp I reversed the sparetire (so the flat "face" is nearest the fender) to create a cavern, and mounted my amp in there. ghetto yes, but hidden and safe too. subwoofer is a Resonant Engineering SE series 12" sub, in a custom box for the T-top well. I then covered the "beauty" plate in matching vinyl. Flash makes the colors look off, but its damn near perfect in person. Enjoy and shoot me questions if you have em.

well....i can give you the run down on the system in my jeep...but with the TA i really dont have the money to do all the speakers just yet. but in the jeep I had this same sub, kenwood components and tweeters up front, and Eclipse 6.5" in the rear. Not TOP of the line but it sounded pretty good. RE was recommended to me from a buddy of mine, and as far as I can tell, their prodects have alot of BANG for the BUCK....no pun intended
